How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and following the person’s lead to build trust and self-awareness. Online sessions can still center on this kind of open conversation, with the therapist responding to what matters most to the client in each meeting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to change mood or habits. In remote sessions this often looks like setting brief between-session tasks, reviewing progress, and practicing new ways of thinking together.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons to change. It can be useful for addiction, habit change, or deciding on next steps, and it adapts well to talk-based online sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and life context, then recommend methods to try. That plan can be tested and adjusted together over time in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. People often find it helpful for keeping momentum between appointments while still working on concrete skills and coping strategies.
